I’m sick of the sports-我讨厌运动

Last Wednesday I went to the hospital to visit a friend who was sick in hospital. I drove there. When I got to the hospital, I parked my car in the parking lot. Then I went to the supermarket near the hospital to buy some gifts. Carrying some fruits and a box/case of milk, I took the elevator in the hospital lobby to my friend's ward.

When I arrived in the ward, my friend had just finished his lunch and watching the TV fixed on the shift bracket by the bedside, and was about to take a nap. The bed in the ward is comfortable, but my friend can't take a nap. A naughty and sick boy also lived in the ward, and his parents were taking care of him. The little boy didn't take a nap at all. He was watching the cartoons on the bedside TV, playing very loudly.

I was very angry because my friend needs a rest, and now my friend can't take a nap at all. I stared at the naughty boy, but he paid no attention to me. Finally, I could not bear it. I grimaced and angrily said to him, "Kid, this uncle is sick. He needs to have a rest at noon. Please turn your TV's voice down!"

"Life lies in sports," said the naughty boy impolitely/rudely. "That uncle has to get up and cut down some trees like Guang Touqiang!"

My friend looked helplessly at the naughty boy and looked at me again, smiled and said, "I'm sick of the sports!"

PUCK破壳/迫克
I’ll follow you, I’ll lead you about a round,
Through bog, through bush, through brake, through brier:
Sometime a horse I’ll be, sometime a hound,
A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire,
And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn,
Like horse, hound, hog, bear, fire, at every turn.

How didst thou scape? How cam’st thou hither? Swear by this bottle how thou cam’st hither—I escap’d upon a butt of sack which the sailors heav’d o’erboard—by this bottle, which I made of the bark of a tree with mine own hands since I was cast ashore.
